Charles Avery’s solo exhibition at GRIMM presents new works that reflect on the theme of the horizon, continuing from his previous project, 'The Islanders.' The horizon line symbolizes a divide between tangible and intangible realms, captivating the fictional island's inhabitants. Each piece in the show, varying in size, engages with philosophical concepts and paradoxes, illustrating both the artist’s growth and his continued exploration of existential questions. Notable works like Untitled (Forest with yellow sky) use grid-like arrangements to challenge perceptions of decay and existence.
The horizon line serves as a dividing line, separating human realms from an intangible, unreachable world of spirits, encapsulating the central theme of the exhibition.
In Untitled (Forest with yellow sky), nine panels present a dead forest scene that reflects themes of decay, existence, and paradox through mathematical imagery.
Avery’s works engage deeply with philosophical ideas; notions like Nietzsche's Eternal Return and Zeno's paradoxes influence the conceptual landscape of his exhibition.
The series explores the allure of the horizon for the Islanders, representing both a magnetic attraction and a perplexing question about existence beyond the visible.
